In the aftermath of a loved one's death, one of the toughest things to do is to inform other people of their passing. Saying it out loud makes the grief more real and cements the certainty of their loss.

Sharing the news delicately but firmly is the best way to do it. Being crass about it to inflict more pain certainly isn't advisable.

Unfortunately, a grandma chose the latter tactic to inform her grandson about his dad's passing. She bragged about how cruel she was to her daughter, who was shocked by her mother's treatment of her nephew.

OP said that her nephew and older brother had a misunderstanding before his death. OP's older brother was upset that his son didn't return his calls and expressed his frustration to their mother and stepfather.

OP's mom took this as a license to be terrible to her own grieving grandson. She also told her grandson that his father left him nothing from his estate except for a few items that he can pick from & everything else will go to his late dad's fiancé.

OP's stepdad confidently said her late brother's money is now his. OP knew that her mom and stepdad were lying because her brother died without a will.

Disgusted by her mom's and stepdad's brazenness, OP walked out. She tried to make her mom understand that in their state, her brother's estate would automatically go to his son since he left no written will.

OP tried to make her mom understand in the following days but she was insisting that everything her brother left will now be the fiancé's

OP felt torn but she knew she had to tell her nephew the truth about his late dad's estate

The fallout is bigger than OP thought and she feels responsible for it

Her mom and stepdad felt so betrayed by what OP did that they didn't inform her or her nephew about their loved one's memorial service

OP hasn't spoken to them since but she still feels guilty for the aftermath

Losing the closest family he has left must have been extremely difficult, even for an adult

OP said she has never known her mom to be so cruel and if not for what she did to OP's nephew, she would have been her mom's biggest supporter

It's the worst application of kicking someone while they're down. OP's mom and stepdad are terrible people for how they behaved.

They were all working together to defraud OP's nephew for their own benefit. Sickening.

OP shared why her brother and nephew fought in the first place

OP's nephew should immediately hire a lawyer if he hasn't yet because his grandma will find ways to block him from what is rightfully his

There is no indicator of them grieving at all. They acted like they won a lottery instead people who just lost someone they loved.

OP has nothing to feel guilty about, everything that happened was cause by her mom's and stepdad's selfishness

Her nephew will forever be grateful for OP's intervention, without her he would have lost any ties to his father

The next best step is for OP to limit her contact with her mom and stepdad. They have shown what kind of people they really are.

They are not the kind of people who will add value to her life. OP can now focus on dealing with her grief and navigating life without her brother.
